Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
The Cosmos tour overall was brilliant. Some of the hotels were better, some were slightly lower quality, but they were not below what was expected. The internet access was limited some days but was not a huge problem so long as you could find a coffee shop with free wifi. Affordabletours was helpful enough, considering how late I had to book my tour they did great to get me on a tour within a limited time frame. Thanks to both companies for such a good experience
